Quotes from Participants:
“The mediation made it very easy to work through our
conflict.”

“The experience was very positive. I know if the
mediator were not there, she would not have heard me at all.”

“I had no idea this was an option for dealing with my
landlord. I’m so glad I heard about it from the housing
people at Cal Poly. I was finally able to have a civil
conversation with my landlord about my security deposit.”

“It really made a difference having a mediator help us
to write out a formal agreement.”

“I’m getting along better with my neighbor since
our mediation in November.”

“The City Planning Department made the referral and I’m
grateful they did.”

"I am so glad you guys are here to talk to, I think it
is great. You have helped me so much today!"

“I was becoming desperate regarding the situation with
my neighbor. She has called the police about barking dogs
on numerous occasions over the past few months. Before
mediation, we were not speaking to each other and things had
become extremely tense in our neighborhood. Working together
with the mediator, we were able to discuss the issues in a new
way and actually come up with a working agreement for the future. I’d
recommend mediation to anyone who is experiencing trouble with
a neighbor.”

“My roommates and I were having a lot of difficulty living
together and one was on the verge of moving out. Through
mediation, we were able to really get all of the important issues
out in the open and figure out how to improve the situation. We
ended up continuing to all live together and communication was
much easier after the mediation.”
